Worked sound crew @ stadium gig for Carl Perkins. Total standup guy. Mid-song, kid leaps over 4ft. fence in front of stage, dancing on the grass. Def. on something. Security tackles kid. Carl yells at security guys "Don't you hurt that boy! I want to SEE him." Next song, kid's onstage hugging Carl.

“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for/Families are scared not just for their loved ones safety although that’s a big concern but also for what their service is being used to justify”

As an artist, I've always found these lines by W. B. Yeats helpful, so much so that I memorized them decades ago. Yeats was born on this day 160 years ago. Some things haven't changed much really, even if the diction has. The poem is "Adam's Curse."

Fantastic 10-minute primer on the four primary means of nonviolent civil resistance and how it succeeds, by one of the leading scholars in the field. Highly informative and important.
